In this episode of Buildings 2.0, Jose speaks with Charlie Morris, Strategic Consultant at CREvolve. They discuss how office space options will continue to evolve, how the brokerage industry needs to transform away from a commission-based entity to a consultative-based service, and why businesses need to think differently about "return to the office" mandates. They also talk about how flexible workplace options allows businesses to compete for global talent and why big change involves a new approach to building valuation.
Topics discussed:
- How the traditional office world will continue to exist, but will look and be structured differently.
- How firms are trying to stand out with technology today, yet how they're also still stuck being transactional.
- Why the push to return to the office is misguided and how varied options will create new opportunities.
- Why change will be slow until the industry begins seeing building valuation in new ways.
- Why flexible workplace options will allow businesses to compete for the best talent globally.
- How businesses can use flexible office spaces to "figure out what they're going to be."
- What will continue to stay the same in the industry, like relationship-building.
